My Students
Take a moment to think about your kindergarten experience. Did you just get a feeling of nostalgia, too? Kindergarten is an amazing and fun time that teaches you the foundations of reading, writing, and math. My students are getting that same experience, but now we're learning from home. I need the necessities to help teach my students during distance learning.
The children I teach are energetic, wonderful, hardworking students.
Some of them come from situations that no one should ever experience. They impress me every day with their awesome attitudes and desire to learn. We are a full-day kindergarten class at a Title I school. Most of our students qualify for the free breakfast and lunch program. The student population is 33% Caucasian, 26% Hispanic, 12% Asian, 11% African American, and 28% other.
My Project
Distance learning has been interesting thus far. My students and I have developed an amazing relationship. I enjoy seeing their smiling faces every morning but sometimes my current technology freezes or drops the call. That is why I would like to add a laptop to my distance learning experience. This laptop will help me connect with my students during our whole group and small group instruction, without any disruptions.
In order for me to keep up with the demands of online teaching and distance learning, I need an up-to-date laptop that can keep up with the processing demands of live video conferencing while running other apps in the background for students.
Having this laptop would also give me the opportunity to help my students make connections on different topics that we are learning about because I can take my students on field trips.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
